Managing director Stefan Dorski said 2017 is a big opportunity for Scania trucks because of myriad positive factors. He expects Thailand's overall heavy-duty truck market to grow by 5-10% this year to 19,000-20,000 vehicles. Last year, Scania sold 424 trucks, marking a record high and 149% gain from 170 sold in 2015. Thailand's truck sales peaked at 31,000 units in 2013, when 271 of those sold were from Scania. Scania's truck sales fell to 240 in 2014 and 170 in 2015, with the overall Thai truck market falling to 21,000 and 16,500 units in those years.
